We’d all like to think the notion of being nourished, (read “eating & drinking”), is somewhat romantic.

In reality, it’s anything but romantic for those involved in getting it to our table!

…and yet you keep doing it.

For those of us on the consumption side of the equation, we thank you.  Well, we ought to thank you, but that doesn’t always happen.
